Since I know that the usual suspects will be making troll posts on this thread, I ask that the devs please lock it asap, so that it remains nothing but a suggestion for them to look at and not a way to flame someone they see as an easy target for bullying. And by usual suspects you know who you are. And if you don't, then clearly you aren't one of them and I am not referring to you. I am well aware there are way more good and mature players in this game than the aforementioned "usual suspects" unfortunately it doesn't take that many active "usual suspects" to ruin a game. It really is sad. Try to be nice, try to be friends with everyone, get attacked by some idiot, and then they act all surprised and conveniently forget who started it when someone reacts negatively to being intentionally provoked. Sure the provokee should probably not have responded in the first place but the blame lies mainly with the provoker, who seems to be immediately forgotten in favor of trashing someone they see as an easy target.

Why would we make a cool costume just so we can turn into a lobster and not use it?

its all fun and games until you're doing a kill all and an enemy gets stuck in a wall and unreachable due to how bad the code is.

This problem could easily be fixed by giving everyone a toggleable "Knockback to knockdown" power, instead of making us sacrifice slots.

Not interested in being a lobster or a squid. at all, ever.

Like the title says, suggestion is to make a blast set (blasters, defenders, corruptors) based on the shurikens from Weapon Mastery and Martial Assault from Dominators. Base the mechanic around ricochets, like how the electric support set chains but on enemies.

its bad enough with the ice shields I dont wanna be buried in rocks and sand too! Maybe if its animated as small pieces of stone that orbit around the characters and shield them that way.

Rad Defenders are incredibly good.

Long as the T9 has a soft crash or no crash. Hard Crash T9s don't get used. and no, just because you sometimes use it doesn't mean the other 99% of players ever do.

Absorb is definitely in theme with water armor as I see it. a mix of Defense and absorb might be best, but absorb and resist works well. Basically the water isn't right on your body, it kinda orbits you and automatically shields you from damage. you still breathe air and the armor does not hinder that. So its like a reactive armor, you subconsiously direct it to intercept incoming ranged attacks and block melee attacks. An alternate visual where you're always immersed in a you shaped water bubble would be a nice option though, just in case you're a literal fish out of water, lol. Maybe it could be defense vs ranged attacks and resist vs melee?

So you think my suggestion would be improving it?

Basically, being able to control water hovering a few inches from the body can be used as a form of ablative or reactive armor, I was reminded of this while re watching a show with a character who can use water in that exact same way, and thought it would be cool to have a water armor set. Yes I know Ice armor can technically be Water in solid form, but I think most of us dont want to be encased in those chunks 100% of the time, and would prefer a more liquid theme. Mechanically maybe it could be a defense focused set with a barrier clickie. because the water would be used to intercept incoming attacks, so the attacks which hit the water would not hit the character at all, which is more a defense theme than resist.

I like this version of the idea.

How about every time you move a few feet in the game by any means- even teleport, you have a 50% chance to be knocked back that same distance, and each time you get knocked, there is a 25% chance everyone else in the game also gets knocked, and each time any of them get knocked, for each of them is a 10% chance of a random knock occuring to 20% of all players online, in 5 to 10 minutes, and if this occurs, the players get knocked across the room in real life.
